Providing an overview of this central historical conundrum of modern times, \u003ci\u003eHistorians Debate the Rise of the West\u003c\/i\u003e enables students to grasp major scholars' evaluations of the biggest picture of all: how Western civilization fits into modern world history. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost historians who write in this area subscribe to a combination of interpretations set forward by scholars of the field, like David Landes, Jared Diamond or Kenneth Pomeranz. But it is often difficult to understand the position they are coming from, and for readers to understand clearly how Europe made the transition from merely one of many developing civilizations to the world's first industrial power. In this volume, Jonathan Daly introduces us to the main interpretations of Europe's rise that have been proposed over the past half-century and presents the views of these historians and schools of scholarship, advocating for each point of view and letting each author speak for him or herself through the inclusion of brief textual selections.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso included are interesting biographical details for each scholar, as well as a list of further reading for each chapter and a collection of maps. An ideal introduction for students of world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Daly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138774812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138774810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2015 pg. 1205","brand":"Jonathan Daly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465482981631,"sku":"9781138774810","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a3e5c7d-0b71-4859-8de6-57da0124c9b2.jpg?v=1736346377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historians-debate-the-rise-of-jonathan-daly-9781138774810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
